Avifauna of Andaman and Nicobar Islands with an Updated Checklist

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Indian Hotspots

Abstract

The Andaman and Nicobar archipelago consists of 572 islands, islets and rocky outcrops extending over 800 km. Biodiversity is very rich in this archipelago and endemism is also high due to isolation. The studies on the avifauna of this region were carried out by the authors from 2008 through 2017 covering extensive field survey in various islands. This paper was prepared based on the field surveys and available literature. A total of 349 species/subspecies of birds were recorded from Andaman and Nicobar Islands in this paper.
